EAST FALMOUTH - Hanneliese Dolinski, 94, of East Falmouth, MA passed away peacefully on Jan. 11, 2016 at Norwalk Hospital in Norwalk, CT. She was the beloved wife of the late Adam Dolinski and mother of Gary Dolin of Sandwich, MA and Joanna Mancinelli of Norwalk, CT. Hanneliese was blessed with two grandchildren, Debora and Lauren and two great grandchildren, Ryan and Erica.

Hanni, as she was known to many, came to these shores from Germany with her husband and son in the aftermath of WWII. The family worked hard and established themselves in Fairfield, CT. During her years there, Hanneliese was associated with the VNA, YMCA and a local pharmacy. They began vacationing and exploring summers on Cape Cod and fell in love with what they experienced. Upon her husband’s retirement, they made East Falmouth their new home.

Hanneliese was proud of her past, yet always looked ahead towards her future. She was a people person. While establishing a large circle of friends, Hanneliese and Adam often traveled together. She was a volunteer at Falmouth Hospital into well in her 80’s, where she received honors for her long and loyal service. According to her wishes, Hanneliese was cremated and her family plans to return her remains to her beloved Cape Cod where her ashes will join her husband’s in the waters of Martha’s Vineyard Sound.

A memorial gathering will be held in celebration of Hanneliese on March 5, 2016 at 12 noon at the Coonamessett Inn in Falmouth, MA.

Family and friends are invited to join together to celebrate her long and eventful life.
